BB - blinkin' brilliant?

Tried out a free sample of the Garnier BB cream. It's amazing! Really smooth, good coverage, has stayed on all day, not chalky, feels so much lighter than foundation. So I've gone and bought the full size tube. I'm chucking out my Bobbi Brown foundation right now. There. Just had to say it.

I agree although I know not everyone gets on with it.

The deciding factor for me was that I met some friends for coffee after dropping the DCs at school. I was feeling quite delicate and had slapped on my face to be told how well and fresh I looked Shock.

I have used it everyday since then Grin.

I like it as a quick bit of slap for going down the shops, does the job doesn't cost the earth what more do you want?.

But then I don't like the "flawless" barbie doll make up caked look everyones going for today it looks soooo fake.

I love it too Smile

I get on well with it too - it does seem to be a bit marmitey on here.

Thought the light shade was still a bit orange but I am horribly pale skinned s maybe that's why. The boots no 7 however is perfect for me and as good as foundation .

I think it's very good; just the job for making me look less scary.

SunshineOutdoors · 11/04/2012 21:56

I'm pretty olive skinned and the light is good on me, I do wonder how it's meant to work on somebody fair skinned.

I am very pale, so it looks orange on me.

Plus it makes me look very greasy faced.

I don't rate it, I get a better effect doing 50-50 foundation/moisturiser for a light coverage.

neverknowinglyunderdressed · 12/04/2012 19:22

I don't rate it either, coverage is so so and makes me look a bit shiny.

Love it too - even better for me than my old Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser which cost about 4 times the amount !
